PRESS EXPRESSIONS.

Manitoba Free Press: Our fisheries are
valuable in themselves; but even were
they not the British empire could not af-
ford to permit itself to be publicly robbed
of them. The Americans have taken a
most discredltable stand with reference TO
this matter. It becomes the duty of Cana
dians, therefore, to combine to man in
opposition to them. A united Canada
might rest assured of British support, and
of being able to show our Dragging, bully
ing neighbors for once that they do not
own the whole of the American earth.
Pioneer Press: The Canadian law,
passed last wear, amendatory of the act
touching fishing by foreign vessels, pro-
vides that on mere suspicion any Ameri-
can vessel may be searched if found in
Canadian waters. even if the captains have
compiled with the custom regulations. 1t
is the avowed Canadian intention to en-
force this law, rather than what Canada
has done, which has stirred up the Amer
lean hornets nest. That law will not be
enforced next summer when american
vessels visit those waters.
Salt Lake Tribune: Our friends across
the line in the Dominion are rejoicing that
the Imperial government is going to send
some ships of war to their relief, to keep
off the fearful fishing smaeks of New
England. England has several hundred
old tubs which she can spare. which are
now an encurnbrance to her harbers. and
she delights in bluff of that kind when
ever she has fish trade on hand. Her old
war hulks are to her on the water, what
Billingseate place is to her home fish-mar-
ket. They are filled with profanity and
bad smells, but they hardly ever establish
any principle. Their coming will please
the Canadians, and will harla nobody, and
their presence will not put off the accept
ance Of any fair proposition, made by our
government. for fifteen minutes.

THE FISHERIES QUESTION

Secretary Manning, in a lengthy reply
to the request of the house committee on
foreign affairs for his views with regard to
the house and senate fishery bills, gives a
most interesting presentation Of the points
at issue between the two countries. He
discusses all the different treaties upon the
subject made at different times between
the two countries and says: i cannot be-
lieve that the government at London will
persist in its present course unless inspired

Washington special: The success Of the
Northwestern Indian commission in its
first Efforts in Montana, at Fort Beiknap,
to gain the consent of the Indians TO re-
liaquishment of a portion of their reserva-
ton and tho taking Of their lands in sew
crafty, is great step toward the accom-
piishment of the objects which the peo-
pie Of Montana have long desired. With
the great Blackfeet reservation on the
north, containing $4,000 square miles; the
Crow and Northern Cheyenne reservations
on the south, containing 1854 square miles
and the Flathead reservation in the west,
containing 2,240 square miles, the people
of Montana have right to feel that large
proportion Of their territory isreally given
up to useless purposes. The lands includ
ed in these reservations are OF the best
agricultural quality, and the movement on
. the part of the people of Montana TO So
cure q REIMBURSEMENT of portion of these
reservations is but natural result OF the
settlement Of the territory, and the filing
up Of the remaining available agricultural
lands Of the public domain. The first vic
tory at Fort Belgnap will result by its in
tluence in generally successful issue al
all of tie agencies upon the Blsckfeo1
reservation, and the beginning made by
the seyeralty commission sent out to the
Grows last year will also tend TO an early
element Of The question on that rsserva
ton. Commissioner Atkins is quite san
saine Of results and halls with great sasss

lies under which they were secured, and
praising highly the zeal and energy Of

THE DUELLO.
Two Great Falls Gentlemen Resort to
the Code to Settle Dispute.
FORTUNATELY NO BLOOD SPLIT.

In this day and age Of the gorld, and
particularly so in the west, disputes are set
tied without resorttng to thas relic of bar
barism, the duel. Yet aa affair of this
kind occurred In Great Pals ono evening
this week, which, fortunately only result
ed in the waste of small amount of pow
der and . couple of ounces of lead.
The affair is enshrouded in the deepest
mystery, and only the principles of the af-
fair, each with trusted friend, know any
thing about it, and it was only by scratch
that the TRIBUNE learned of the affair at
all. After dint of much persuasion one
Of the seconds gave TRIBUNE represen-
tatiye few meagre points, but positively
refused to give the names of sny of the
other parties concerned. As it is always
the case in affairs OF this kind woman
was at the bottom Of it. The principles
each for himself was desperately smittep,
and considered life not worth living with
out basking in the sunshine of the fair one.
With Weman's coquetrY, the fair siren re-
fused to choose between them, but led
them on, dividing her smiles equally be-
tween them, and at last aroused in their
breasts that Green-eyed demon, jealousy,
and the two friends became sworn enc
| mics, and oaly the life blood of one or the
other would satisfy their passions. They
wisely kept their own counsel, and so mat
ters went on for some little time, each
wssehing the other, awaiting only favor
able opportunity to settle up the score
One evening some weeks ago they net at
the home OF the fair one, snd then and
there were about to open hostilities, but
were prevailed upon to desiSt After much
persuasion they finally agreed to drop the
matter, but meeting in . saloon the fol-
lowing evening, both somewhat under the
influence of liquor, their trouble was un-
fortunately touched upon by one of the
parties, and quickly resented by the other.
They withdrew to one corner of the room,
and decided upon duel with z5-caliber
pistols, at ten PAGES, to be fought at mid
night at the coming full moon They in
trusted their intentions to one friend each
who were to be present aud act as seconds.
So quietly was the affair managed that
none but the interested parties were aware
Of it.
The meeting came of as agreed upon,
and after exchanging one harmless shot
apiece at each osher, they declared them
selves satisfied, and after enjoying secrecy
from their seconds they hisd themselves
back to town and had a o'clock lunch of
beer and wener-wurst, at Phil Gerloch's
cafe, where can also be found at all times
a bountiful supply of fresh bread, biscuits
| etc. *tf.

Gov. LESLIE has arrived at the capital
and assumed the duties of his Office last
Tuesday. The governor says that his idea
of coming to the territory at this immedi-
ate time was to be here while the legisla-
ture was in session and thus to meet moi
only the Legislators but the many from
different parts of the territory who are
visitors at the capital at such times.

Its Effect.

A prominent Montana stock grower says
Of the Interstate commerce bill that Its
passage will remove the principal obstacle
to return of prosperity to the cattle in
dustry. The day it becomes law it adds
from ST. to so to the value of every head
of beef in Montana. That difference in
favor of the stock grower will be manifest
in the shipment tariffs this year compared
with the rates fixed and enforced last
year.

MIR. HENRY CLEWs, the New York
banker, in q recent financial circular re-
fers to the Inter State Commerce bill and
it's probable influence on the business Of
the country in some very pointed and
business like remarks He claims that it
was "forced through congress by members
voting for it against their convictions be-
cause i. was regarded as a popular move"
that few votes were cast "on the merits of
the BILL" that it was forced through both
houses as measure in favor of the labor
irg classes as against capitalists and cor
porations;" that "no measure ever passed
congress more aatocratic;;" that it is a
ssstep in the direction Of contralizing pow
er in the hands of the government at
Washington;" that it proposesto take the
place in reality of the present railroad
pools which have for their membership
the most. experienced, the brainiest and
the best trained railroad men in the world
by substituting ssive inexperienced men
whose only qualification is in connection
with politics. and that it is much like
our present unsatisfactory jury law which
provides for inries for which those who
.read newspapers and have ordinary IN
telligence are in consequence dis4ualI-
fed.

Two letters appear in recent issue OF

protest against the creation Of the propos-
ed new county. The letters are conspicu
GUS by reason Of the absence of any argu-
ments why the new county should not be

otherwise she is opposed to it. The state
Inent that the Isscheme was hatched up by
real estate dealers" is altogether too gauzy
when the fact that over six hundred and
fifty voters, or nearly nine -tenths Of those
residing within the proposed county, have
petitioned to the legislature for its creation.
Yes, in fact it looks like scheme, but it
is popular one, and it is not likely the
members of the legislature will pay much
heed to the handful of disgruntled chronics
and the Press in the face of this petition.

Origin Of the Cemetery.

The Jews used to bury their dead I'M
der the earth, aud this seems to have
been the earliest in use. Egypt EN-
balmed her corpses, and the earlier
Greeks and Romans consumed the body
after death by fire, the ashes only re-
ceiving sepulture. Subsequently in those
nations this practice fell into disuse, at
least partly, aud then their dead bodies
were buried in vaults or chambers un-
der ground, such as the Catacombs. In
ancient Rome the bodies Of her most
illustrious sons we're permitted to be
buried unburned, as special mark Of
favor, within the walls Of the city. The
next step was the erection Of churches
over the graves Of martyrs. Then en-
perorS and kings were admitted to sar-
cophagi within the church walls. The
extension Of this practice was the ORR
gin Of churchyards. These, in crowded
towns, became unhealthy aud offensive,
and sanitary measures demanded burial
without tho walls the city. Thus grew
the beautiful resting places Of the dead.
which, with their trees, flowers, land
scapo gardening, aud works Of monu-
mental art, we call cemeteries. The
word cemetery" by the way. means
slumber-place, and is Of Christian ORR
gin.
